Upregulation of a nonsense mediated decay (NMD) insensitive CFTR mRNA isoform has therapeutic potential for the treatment of 3’ CFTR PTC variants

2024-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Nonsense or Premature Termination Codon (PTC) mutations of the CFTR gene are pathogenic and found in ∼10% of North American people with cystic fibrosis. PTC mutations induce Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay (NMD), leading to a substantial (∼80-90%) reduction in full-length mRNA. This reduction is a key contributor to PTC mutation-related pathology. Various approaches to evade NMD and preserve the...
